Pixar in a Box is a behind-the-scenes look at how Pixar artists do their jobs. You will be able to animate bouncing balls, build a swarm of robots, and make virtual fireworks explode. The subjects you learn in school — math, science, computer science, and humanities — are used every day to create amazing movies at Pixar. This collaboration between Pixar Animation Studios and Khan Academy is sponsored by Disney.

Athlone Gramophone society have very kindly invited us to their regular meetings. See below for details:

Glad to have discovered your site.

Music is truly international, which is why members decided to invite Asylum Seekers in Athlone to our meetings.We meet every second Thursday in the Prince of Wales Hotel at 8.15 pm.The next meeting is on Thursday 5th October. This will be a bring-your-own night when members and visitors are asked to bring along a CD with a favourite piece of music to be played on the night (max duration about 5 minutes).

Anyone who enjoyes listening to music in comfortable surroundings is very welcome…..no charge!Please ask for Nora, Mel, Ivan, Mary or Norman.

Anyone got interesting music they would like to play? I’ve got Arabic and South African music, nothing much from Afghanistan or Pakistan.
